Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

Ingredients

2 teaspoons light soy sauce
⅛ teaspoon white sugar
2 teaspoons potato starch
1 teaspoon sesame oil
ground black pepper to taste
1 pound pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons potato starch
1 dash red food coloring
1 egg, beaten
1 cup potato starch
2 cups peanut oil for frying
1 green bell pepper, cut into large chunks
2 cayenne peppers, sliced
4 slices canned pineapple, chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 green onions, sliced

Steps:

Whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, 2 teaspoons potato starch, sesame oil, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix the pork into the marinade and turn until all the pork is covered. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.
To make the sauce, whisk together the water, vinegar, ketchup, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, 2 teaspoons potato starch, and red food coloring in a separate bowl. Set aside.
Dip the pork pieces in the beaten egg, then dredge in the 1 cup potato starch. Use your hand to press the starch onto the pork, assuring a consistent coating.
Heat the peanut oil in a wok over medium-high heat to a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Fry the pork pieces in the hot oil until crisp and light brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the oil and drain, keeping the oil hot. Return the drained pork pieces to the hot oil for 30 seconds more. Remove and drain again. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the wok.
Heat 1 tablespoon of reserved oil in the wok over medium heat. Cook the green bell pepper, cayenne pepper, pineapple, garlic, and green onion in the heated oil for about 5 minutes. Add the sauce and stir until it thickens. Stir in the pork and toss until the pork is coated with sauce. Remove from heat and serve.

Tips:

Choose the right ribs: Select pork spare ribs or baby back ribs that are meaty and have good marbling.
Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.
Use a flavorful marinade or rub: This will help to infuse the ribs with flavor and keep them moist during cooking.
Cook the ribs slowly and low: This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to develop.
Baste the ribs regularly: This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
Let the ribs rest before serving: This will help the meat to reabsorb the juices and become even more tender.

Conclusion:

Hong Kong-style ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can create a truly memorable dish that will impress your friends and family.
